I didn't have any trouble with this code on my linux machine. 

the one thing that might be confusing the issue is that all of your records
are identical.. one thing I did while testing your code was to change the
'rating' field to a unique number (only 8 records, so I changed each to have
a number in that sequence).. then you can see the data changing, and it's
much clearer whether or not it's working.

give that a shot, and see what happens.
